partake of the supper which he had prepared, Jimmy
approached, and in most affable tones inquired for my
health with so much Irish blarney that I could not fail to
discover the "cat under the meal," though he tried hard to
conceal it. A. moment later, under pretence of arranging
the blankets, the cat was let out of the bag, for, in a tone
of voice intended only for my ear, he said, "What's he spakin' ter her, Juge?"
Innocently enough I inquired, "Who?"
"That ould black divil, Don Rafael," said Jimmy.
I replied, after listening for a few moments, "0, he's
only talking nonsense."
"But what's he sayin'?" asked Jimmy.
"0, he's only telling her he thinks she's a handsome
woman, and he'd like her for a sweetheart."
"An' what duz she say ter that, sur?"
"She says she thinks the Mexicans are splendid people,
and that she'd rather have a Mexican for a lover than any
one else in the world."
